The main objective of the inspections carried out within the framework of the campaign was to check what actions and preventive measures the employer had taken at the workplace after being informed by the State Labour Inspectorate that an employee had been diagnosed with an occupational disease. A total of 71% of the inspections were carried out in companies with more than 50 employees. It was found that 81% of the inspected employers had taken technical measures to improve the working conditions of employees with occupational diseases, 72% of the employers reduced the workload of these persons, 37% of the employers transferred employees to other jobs where exposure to harmful working environment factors was excluded.

The priority area of the campaign was chosen on the basis of the State Labour Inspectorate's own database on occupational diseases. Specific occupational hazards and the associated incidence of occupational diseases were prioritised. The number of confirmed occupational diseases in the previous year was taken into account when selecting companies for inspection. In Latvia, there are 5 regional units of the State Labour Inspectorate, and usually for the purposes of campaigns, the number of companies to be inspected is evenly distributed among all regions. If there are no employers in a region to be covered by a particular campaign, then labour inspectors from a particular regional unit carry out more inspections under another campaign in order to meet the targets set jointly for all units of the SLI.

At the planning stage of the campaign, cooperation was also initiated between the State Labour Inspectorate and the employers' unions, which had the opportunity to make suggestions on the organisation of the office's campaign activities.

Inspections were carried out consistently throughout the campaign. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, inspections were carried out largely remotely, so it is difficult to determine the average duration of inspection activities carried out at the inspected entity and activities at the State Labour Inspectorate office. All inspectors were involved in the inspection activities. At the inspectors' disposal during the inspection activities were checklists and a description of the reporting requirements. Two persons were involved in monitoring and coordination activities, who prepared: checklists, information on how to carry out inspections, lists of companies to be inspected, the campaign schedule and – at the final stage – a summary of the campaign. They were also responsible for downloading the checklist in the State Labour Inspectorate's IT system. They assisted the labour inspectors in solving problems and monitored the level of implementation of the quantitative plan.

The main aim of the inspections carried out within the framework of the campaign at construction companies was to prevent fatal and serious accidents at work and to check the health and safety of workers during construction work. During the campaign, inspectors suspended work on construction sites in 33 cases because they found a risk to the safety and health of workers. The irregularities also concerned the performance of work at height and in excavations. There were also violations in terms of compliance with the regulations on identification cards and lists of workers, which posed a risk of illegal employment.

The priority area of the campaign was selected on the basis of the experience and observations of labour inspectors and data from the Latvian Construction Information System. In determining the priorities of the described campaign, specific risks and indicators in the construction industry were taken into account – high rates of accidents at work, including fatal and serious accidents. The selection of companies to be inspected took into account the sectoral criterion and the knowledge of labour inspectors supervising individual construction sites about working conditions.

At the planning stage of the campaign, cooperation was also initiated between the State Labour Inspectorate and the employers' unions, which had the opportunity to make suggestions on the organisation of the office's activities within the framework of the campaign.

The inspections were carried out evenly throughout the campaign. The duration of inspection activities carried out at the inspected entity and activities at the State Labour Inspection office ranged from 2 to 4 hours. All labour inspectors were involved in the control activities. At the disposal of the labour inspectors during the inspection activities were: a description of how to implement the activities (tasks to be performed), checklists, a description of the reporting requirements and examples of reactive actions to be taken by the inspectors in case of identification of typical irregularities.

Two persons were involved in monitoring and coordination activities, and they prepared: the campaign schedule, checklists, information on how to carry out inspections, lists of companies to be inspected and information summarising the campaign. They were also responsible for downloading the checklists into the State Labour Inspectorate's IT system, assisted labour inspectors in solving problems and monitored the level of implementation of the quantitative plan.

Latvia has a very high rate of accidents at work, so an information campaign was organised to encourage employers and employees to pay attention to the importance of complying with labour protection requirements, especially in industries with a high number of fatal and serious accidents at work. The main objective of the campaign was to promote knowledge of the factors of the working environment and the risks they cause, to emphasise the importance of applying an effective system of work protection measures in the companies, as well as to shape the desired behaviour of the project's target group (employers and employees) and to promote the development of a health and safety culture in enterprises.

The preparation and implementation of the project was funded by the European Social Fund. The project was entirely prepared by the organisational unit of the State Labour Inspectorate, which consisted of 13 persons. The target group of addressees of the activities carried out under the project, as well as the individual stages of project implementation, were described in the project plan prepared by the above-mentioned project group.

As part of the described non-inspection campaign, information materials (brochures, posters), a TV clip and a song were prepared. Visits to companies as well as seminars and conferences were organised, publications and audiovisual materials were disseminated, a radio and TV campaign was prepared, information was posted on the State Labour Inspectorate's website and social media (FB, Instagram, X). A campaign launch conference was organised, which was attended, among others, by members of the Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Free Trade Union Confederation of Latvia, as well as campaign ambassadors – two former players of the Latvian ice hockey national team. A particularly important part on the programme at the launch of the campaign was a speech by a person who had suffered an accident at work and who shared his experience with the participants of the event. The event was also attended by 4 Good Practice companies which shared their experiences of preventive measures to reduce accidents at work.
